Answer:

d. beta did a better job of explaining the returns than standard deviation

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk associated with the particular investment, it do not compute the total risk associated, which is more  logical.

Standard deviation computes the total risk associated.

Some risk is natural, like the risk of floods, natural calamities, earthquake, etc:

That risk shall not counted as for comparison as that is associated universally. Further, the risk associated with particular factors like bankruptcy of a company, or some legal case issue of a company are precisely described by beta coefficient.

Thus, beta provides better details about explaining the returns.

Which of the following is an example of a variable cost?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Utilities

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary proportionately with the changes in production level. Should production level rise, variable costs increases. Variable costs form the majority of the direct cost of production.

Unlike fixed costs, the monthly bill for variable costs will keep fluctuating. In this scenario, utilities represent the variable cost. Expenses on electricity, water and other consumables will vary from time to time. With a high level of production, consumption of power and water will be high.  

Rent and insurance cost will remain the same regardless of production level. A professional fee is an overhead expense. It is not an input in the production process.

College education results in a positive externality for society. Explain whether the market failure that results from this exter
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

In simple words, positive externalilty refers to the phenomenon under which an etity or an individual takes advanatage of any sctions made bo some other entity. Education helps to make individual build a strong character which further results in overall development of the society.

   Free university education in Texas would be good for society in terms of quality education becoming cost effective to everyone and thus everyone would be able to sign up for college degree. This would end up making university education accessible to all and improve their standard of living.

         However, on the other hand, free university education might make them take things for granted, and the seriousness of education would be significantly reduced. At the very same period, it will be very costly for the state to employ a professional faculty to provide education.
